Please make a Season 3!

Such beautiful, in depth interviews. As a 30-something year old woman I love how Dolly so beautifully interviews some women in their 50s/60s. Privileged to hear their wisdom. Please make a Season 3!

Love it, so much!

As tends to happen, I’ve discovered this podcast well after its come to an end but it has gotten me through what’s been 2021 so far! Timing is everything. I may be late but I’m so happy I found this podcast. After reading and loving Dolly’s book, Everything I Know About Love, she’s become a writer who I absolutely love!

Finding common ground

The beauty and genius of this podcast is that while I have seemingly nothing in common with Dolly or the people she interviews, the one thing we all have in common is that love defines who we are and what we do. Hearing people discuss how love has defined their lives it puts their story in a whole new relatable context. That Dolly makes these conversations so relaxed and easy makes the whole listening process a complete delight.

My remedy to feeling shiny

The perfect motive to get out of bed on a Friday morning - always a treat having this to look forward to. I was saddened when it stopped for a period of time last year; so happy you’ve returned.

Better than Melvin Bragg

I have not listened with such bated breath to a podcast since In Our Time recorded the Rosa Luxembourg episode. Bravo, Dolly, for asking actually original and pertinent questions about love and what drives us.

Dolly’s biggest American fan 👇🏼

ADOREEE this pod. Heard it on the high low and love anything dolly or pandora does so gave it a listen. So heartwarming and sweet, love the guests. Vanessa Kirby and Stanley Tucci were gems!

Charmed in Texas!

I only recently discovered Love Stories, after losing my husband unexpectedly a few months ago. As a new widow (a label I can’t quite get my head around just yet), I devoured the first season and found a great deal of comfort in the stories people shared. I was a bit lost when I finished all the available episodes, but was thrilled to see a new season pop up in my podcast list today! I listened to Stanley Tucci’s stories and was again uplifted...if it’s possible to be charmed as well as heartbroken in the same breath, I was definitely there. Thank you Dolly. I look forward to the next tales of love...xo

Absolutely LOVE

I love the questions Dolly asks her guests and the guests she hosts are always full of amazing words of wisdom and experience. I hope this show continues! I also LOVE the other podcast she does called The High Low. Both shows are a bright light to my days!

Dolly is Simply Divine!

I just adore Dolly!! Her ability to be candid, thought provoking and ever so charming makes me want to be her best friend. I hope this podcast isn't done since it hasn't been updated in quite sometime.

More Please!

Dolly has me hooked! She and her guests hit every topic on the head and have me LITERALLY nodding my head and yelling “YEP!” Every time. They also make me feel less “strange” or alone about my love life, amongst other things. Definitely a hooked listener! Dolly Alderton is everything I never knew I needed! 😊

Slavish Adoration

Everyone has been smashing. I listened to Cosmo, Vanessa, and Emma twice. But Ruth Jones - I have lost count, but I’m approaching a dozen listens. Dolly, your way with your guests is charming and cozy and somehow doesn’t make me the least jealous because I’m convinced you will be just as lovely with me when I achieve a modicum of (published) success to warrant a proper Love Stories grilling. Please don’t stop the podcast - it is a deep delight.

Best part of my week!!

I’d listen to Dolly read a phone book. Please please let her take on any and all projects she may want to.

ADORED

It is a wonderful thing to feel understood by people you don’t even know. Thank you for this. You and your guests are charming, brilliant, and hilarious.

I want more!

This episode is so relatable about love. My best friend sent this to me and was said “look we’re not alone.” It’s amazing how so many people think the same ways about love and the hesitations that come with being vulnerable. I can’t wait to hear more episodes :)

Beautiful & Insightful

This episode was so beautiful and insightful, delving into so many facets and levels of love, all of which are so important. I’ve recently become such a huge fan of Dolly, between her writing and the High Low, and am so looking forward to reading her book. It’ll be wonderful to have a bit more of her each week through this podcast.

My new favorite

I love Dolly Alderton more than I can say and her having a new podcast is a dream (I didn’t know I had) come true!

A gem

Totally loved hearing two of the people I so look up to talk so openly and thoughtfully about love in all its forms. Can’t wait for more!

Loved it!!

I love the exploration of what it really means to be intimate with a person. Vanessa Kirby described it so well. Felt like listening in to a conversation with my girlfriends found myself wanting to join in! Looking forward to more podcasts.

Loved this!

I adore Dolly and Vanessa Kirby. It’s lovely listening to them talk about things of substance and how it is to be a woman in this world. It was very relatable, can’t wait for the next episode! And for Dolly’s book to be released in the US!
